It's hard to believe that it was a mere 7 months ago when I debuted Flights Of Fancyfabrics for Michael Miller. So many wonderful recorded memories, fabulous people and continued friendships. Now my crate for the upcoming Market is closed up and on it's way. I'm still working last minute and will hopefully have time to clean up my debris before heading for Pittsburgh. If you aren't going to Quilt Market in Pittsburgh(Let me know if you are!), we'll take good photos there and a much better reveal of the whole line once we return.

I have so admired Simone's handbagsand clothes for some time, but when I got the first batch of goodies she's whipping up in Summer Soiree I literally teared up. Her workmanship is impeccable and so is her ability to mix it up. All her bags have vintage brooches, ribbons and a unique combination that is to die for. I ran a couple errands using one of the bags and got serious compliments. People coming to my studio are drooling over them ( I know, they clean up nicely though). She is also test sewing a bag that my husband helped me design...stay tuned for that one. All I'll show you for now is the handbag above and this adorable jumper modelled by my Miss Amelia.

Here's a pillow I'm working on. I love french chairs and am having quite a bit of fun making some collage pillows and artwork for the show. Then I got a pleasant surprise yesterday when Kay Whittsent me a couple quick pics of some things she's taking to Market. This is her Sophie Trench Coat pattern using my newly laminated Par Avion and Rain Dot in the Spring colorway. Whoa. Thank you Kay! I'll have to check on when the laminate will be up on the MMF site, but it is available. She told me it was great to work with. Yeah!! I can't wait to see that and another goodie she made with my new fabric.

Hope this has been enough to get you to wander over to my booth during Quilt Market. Lots more to see and learn about an amazing upcoming humungous giveaway. Yes, you heard me right. It'll knock your socks off. Okay, I know, you're probably not wearing socks. Just trust me.

Schoohouse: 12:15 PM – 12:45 Room # 305

Lastly, you've got to go check out my Jennifer's blog. Whhaaa? Remember I was on the front of the March Carmel Magazine? Well, the crew took one look at my fashionable daughter and next thing I know she's on the cover of April's Hendricks Magazine. I gave her strict instructions to run if the photographer wanted to shoot UP at her. Well, she took mom's advise. Whatcha think? Much better material to start with and much better results.

HOLY COW! Gorgeous gorgeous goodies, Miss Paula. Simone is one talented gal and I just adore Jennifer's entire ensemble. And speaking of Jennifer... CONGRATS! What a great honor! Can't wait to see you two in a couple of days. :)

ABOUT ME:

As an award winning and nationally recognized
interior designer I began manufacturing my own signature
line of children’s and home décor in 2003. Soon after, I began licensing my designs to be made into fabrics, artwork, home décor and most recently a
baby collection with Papyrus.

These days I spend more time with a paintbrush in my hand. On a fluke I decided to enter one of my art pieces into a gallery show and when
the director of the gallery purchased my painting for his home, I gained the
confidence to take my art play more seriously and having the best time in my little studio.

Oh, but I'm still passionate about interior design.
Proof is in our fixer-upper which is in a constant state of DIY renovations. So on
any given day you can find paint, sawdust or sewing thread attached to me, and
some days all three.
